The surprisingly long UEFA Champions League season for Ajax women is over. Reaching the semi-finals seemed impossible after the 0-3 loss against Chelsea in Amsterdam last week, and that proved to be the case at Chelsea's stadium Stamford Bridge. The Amsterdammers had chances to win the game against a much-rotated Chelsea side, but it finished in a draw: 1-1.
Ajax’s women’s team has won the league title for the first time since 2018. Suzanne Bakker’s team confirmed the championship with a 6-1 victory against PEC Zwolle in the last match of the season. Closest rivals FC Twente were one point behind after a 2-1 win over Feyenoord. Romee Leuchter was important for Ajax. The Oranje international scored twice and also had two assists for Quinty Sabajo and Tiny Hoekstra. Hoekstra also scored a second goal, and Ashleigh Weerden converted for the champions.
